In truth, St Pierre has as little time for the pre fight public workouts as Diaz does. While other fighters dutifully put on gloves and spar or do light grappling for the watching fans and cameras, St Pierre doesn't bother.

Away from the cage, GSP is Armani. Diaz is hoodie.

Instead he tries to come up with something else to entertain fans. On Wednesday, he pretended to spar with some pint sized students from a local martial arts academy, Karate Sunfuki. Then he threw signed merchandise into the crowd.

Diaz has a history of playing hooky. The UFC says he missed two days filming for a preview show for this card. The Diaz camp says they did not get proper notice.

And Diaz, whose matchup with GSP at UFC 137 in 2011 was shelved after failing to show up for news conferences in Toronto and Las Vegas, added to his bad boy reputation. at the downtown mall that was host to the workout.

Oil and water sells in the UFC.

﻿Diaz misses public workout ahead of UFC 158

Diaz never made it. The only glimpse fans got of him was a side shot on a giant promotional poster overhead and a close up of his sneer on a floor mounted display.

Short of escorting a senior citizen across the street or donating an organ to a relative in need, St Pierre couldn't have done much more for his good guy image at a public workout Wednesday in advance of UFC 158.

No. 1 contender Jonny Hendricks was shoved to the side because White said GSP Diaz was the fight fans wanted to see. St Pierre agreed.

show for the fans but UFC got me here at 12 last night. George lives here!" Diaz teeted later Wednesday.

"It doesn't change nothing in my life," he said.

In pulling Diaz from the first GSP fight, White said: "I'd rather pull the fight now than have him not show up the night of the event."

The 31 year old champion, who calls Montreal home, shrugged off Wednesday's mini drama.

Diaz's no show is hardly likely to trigger anything more than a tongue lashing from UFC president Dana White given the proximity to Saturday's show at the Bell Centre. Plus Diaz is on the hook to be at Thursday's news conference and Friday's weigh in.

"He's going to show up for sure," said St Pierre.

"Maybe he's on Stockton time," he added, referring to Diaz's home in the Stockton Lodi area of California. The St Pierre entourage arrived at the hotel some 15 minutes later after fulfilling their media obligations at the workout.

"By train, by horse. I don't care. I want him to come to Montreal. We need to finish the business," St Pierre said at the time.
